Two Pickup Routing Options

The Gecko works well as a One or Two pickup bass as seen below .
Choose the pickup routing to match your tone needs and playing style. Two pickups offer broad frequency response and a wider variety of
tones, while a single pickup can deliver a more focused midrange sound and leave more room to dig in under the strings.

Each image below shows the pickup routing and lists the type of pickup that routing can accommodate.
